IOS'I‘AGE ON Llfl’l'l'lilts. Mr. Bcattie brought up the question of excess postage on letters comiig from South Africa. It ap1.etil's that when letters come from South Africa with insufficient postage, the receiver is compelled to pay double the short- age. Mr. lietittle thought thit, under all the circumstances. this charge should notbe made. In his opinion it would be better if such letters were carried free. Mr. Mulock replied that the agree- ment of the Postal Union, which in- cluded most of the countries of the world, called for this double charge when. letters were insufficiently stamped. The object of this rule is tol, induce people to put enough stamps on letters in the first place, becausei each country in the union retains. whatever amount it collects. The1 Government has instructed postmas- ters not to make the double charge in future on letters from South Africa, but to collect only the amount of the actual shortage. They do not feel Jus.ified in going farther without the consent of Cape Colony, which, for pos- tal purposes, was a separate coun- try. The Government was new in communication with Cape Colony on the subject. FELLOW LABOR- Mr. Molnnes introduced respecting labor in mines. Mr. Mclnnes typifies the British Columbian antagonism to yellow labor. He has a bill to increase the entry tax on Chinese and Japanese and this bi.l, also, though it has to go far underground to get there, aims at. the same people. The yellow man, it seems, has an insufficient knowledge of English; he can’t read printed warnings in mines, and he is possessed of an all-pervading fatalism which makes him regard accidents as uncon- trollable. In short, he has a great-i er esteem of Kismet than of safetyl lamps. Mr. Molnnes wants to enâ€" sure a greater degree of safety in‘ mines by keeping Chinese and Japan- 656 out of them.

MARKETSâ€"[ill THE WORLD Prices of Grain, Cattle. Cheese. Sac. in the Leading Marts. Toronto, Feb. 27.â€"\Ve had a dull market here to-day; all the slush and Iifilth of the city had apparently been dumped in the \Vestern cattle yards; the attendance of buyers was small, and those who were here.cleared out as soon as possible. There was little trading, and a large portion of the cattle were left over for the regular market toâ€"morrow, Wednesday. All told 33 car loads of live stock came in, consisting of 1,100 hogs, 500 cattle, 250 sheep and lambs. and atew ‘ milkers and calves. The cahlegram this morning re- and London tended to depress the ex- port trade, and little was done at about the prices of last Tuesday. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said: "It may not be out of place at this moment that we should interrupt the regular course of business to give amoment‘s attention to the news from Africa. Tlhe news we have received is of a charâ€" acter at once to cheer and sadden our hearts. It is cheering in this respect â€"it brings the announcement that our Canadian troops in the field hav re- ceived their baptism of fire, and have supported the ordeal in a manner creditable to themselves and to their country. The telegraphic message gives no details whatever; still we know by fire number of casualties which have taken place that our men have died at their posts and that their courage has been equal to what we expected of them. But this is the sad- dening part of it. Such is the awful character of war, that its triumphs are always mixed with tears and how- a‘ver much we can rejoice at the vic- tories achieved by the British arms, victories in which on" fellow country- men are taking a part, still the an- nouncement is saddened by the fact that twenty of our countrymen have lost their lives, and sixty-nine are now lying between life and death. “ The announcement is such as to, if it were possible, still more confirm us in our resolve of doing our full duty in the present emergency. \Ve can do nothing at present to solace those families which are bereaved, but we can assure them,«â€"and this I am sure we do with all our’heartsâ€"â€"â€"that their loss is not their own exclusively, * but that it is also_ours and our coun- try's." v. Sir Chiarles Tupper replied as fol-, lows: "I desine to associate myself in: the warmest manner with the ex- tremely appropriate words that have gust fallen from the Right Honorable eadcr of the House. He has truly said ‘ that the triumphs of war can only be achieved in connection with the sadder fate that involves men‘s lives and car- rte: pain and entering inio the 11 use- holds of a: great many of our people. The Canadian Con'ingent, who have realized. on the field that which Can- ada expected of them. who have di~~ charged their duty nobly and faithâ€"i fully, who have fallen in the causal we believe to be a.- righteous one. have ' conferred not only undying {time and ‘ honor on themselves, but that same lbonor and fame upon our country. . which sent them there. "I am sure that every member of this House will extend his most heart- felt sympathy to the friends and rela- tives of those who, still living, are in l situation calling for our sympathy. The great news that has gladdened every portion of the Empire, of the success ottendin British arms in the relief of Kimber ey and the relief of Ladysmaih, together with the pros. pect of more decisive measures c-tlt-uâ€" oulaicd to bring this war to an end at no distant day. will, at the same time, be accompanied. with a feeling of deep- est sympathy and ccmmisseratien win; Very little doing: in the butcher market; prices are not quotably chang- led, .

Ford ca.- bles The New York Tribune: The conâ€" ditions under which the new cam- paign was planned in South Africa by Gen. Roberts and Gen. Kitchener on the voyage to the Cape, are cleâ€" scribcd in a letter from an officer on Gen. Kellyâ€"Kenny's stuff, which I have seen. This officer had anticipat- ed seeing something of the two fam- ous generals on the ship, but, was disappointed. Gen. Roberts appeared on deck at 6 o'clock every morning, and walked up and down briskly for two hours. Promptly at 8 o'clock he turned to his chief-ofâ€"stafi with an abrupt can. Gen. Kitchener, alert in response, "Here, sir," was always on hand, and the next moment; the conqueror of Kandahar and the cou- qiicror of Orudurinan would disappear until the next. morning at the some early hour. A large cabin had been rcserved for Gen. Roberts' use. and there he remained busy day after day with his chicfâ€"ofâ€"stail‘f, until midnight, with no interruption, except at short. intervals for meals, and no visitors, unless members of his staff, were summoned. A short stroll on deck at midnight caprcd the day’s work, apd the two generals then turned in. This order was followed day after day until the ship anchored at. Cape Town, and the campaign which had been thoroughly discussed and thought out in detail, was opened. Although He and His Army Knows That it is Hopeless. VlOf/IEN AND CHILDREN WITH HIM.
